BigBlue Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Who amongst the CFL executive insist on not protecting the franchise quarterbacks that is their biggest expenditure on every roster? Who benefits from not adjusting the rules? The NFL has certainly gone to every effort to protect their franchise quarterbacks... So what is the reasoning process??? Do they just want to see violence to make the game more attractive? The hit to Collaros was a clear attempt to injure: the hit was very late and helmet to helmet was deliberate and intentional. The offender's will be greatly rewarded for knocking our QB out of the game and who knows how many games in the immediate and distant future. These type of deliberate non-protection QB rules cost attendance around the league. Nobody ultimately benefits from such malfeasance. So tell me why? Duh? no71, WildPath, Blue28 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 There's no disincentive for guys on taking those shots. Ho hum 15 yards. Start handing out suspensions. Two of these games in a row with late and purposeful helmet to helmet hits way after the ball is out, even way after the play is over, on a guy who has been MOP or divisional MOP every year since pandemic.

Captain Blue Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 NFL already figured this out. People want to see the star QBs play and that means protecting them as much as possible. Sask could have - and still may have - altered our season and all it cost them was one penalty. Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any targeted head shot is immediate ejection, on anyone not just QB's. CFL we have guys going around spearing anything that moves. You have guys like Hefney breaking their necks from throwing those hits. If they care at all about player safety they'll start actually officiating the games.

I don’t see anything changing until they start paying and training them better. Anecdote- When my daughter was in an Edmonton hospital in 2021, one of her nurses was the line judge on the top CFL reffing crew (Proulx) He left a full shift on one of the busiest paediatric wards in the country to go home, eat and ref the Bomber/Edmonton game that same night. If it’s their second job, they’re going to perform like it. You get what you pay for. Deiter Fan, rebusrankin, Atomic and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A half a game day paycheque fine is all that POS Rider Lineman will get. He should be suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot to the face/jaw...cap wouldn't do anything...a shot to the body causing whiplash and or sudden stop too causing majority of concussions...a guardian cap again would do nothing... 5 hours ago, Noeller said: Atta boy Wade...let's see what Scarfs has to say to that....

Yup...let's see what that doucher does now...seeing as it a repeat offence a 2 game sit in the corner suspension should suffice...I'd go as.far as fine the.coach too rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoochylde Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 We’re finally seeing some good QB play league wide .. you’d THINK they’d crack down on this BS hard.

Bigblue204 Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Follow the NCAAs lead. It's not just qbs the league should protect. No targeting anyone with the helmet. You do it? You're out. No warnings no 2nd chances. I'm sure the CFLPA wouldn't like it, but both sides talk about safety while being a part of a league that is pretty well the least safe in NA football.
